Nella heard what Aubrey said, along with the comments of the people around her, and her face flushed with anger. Not able to do any other things due to her position, she glared softly at Aubrey.
"Unfortunately, I am not you, so I won't do this." Carra just smiled indifferently and said loudly. "I am not at fault for being disfigured and rejected in marriage. Why should I be wronged for the mistakes made by others? What about yourself? Isn't it the people who made mistakes that should amend their ways?"She looked at Aubrey with piercing eyes. Facing the sharp eyes, Aubrey felt a little flustered, as if the secret she had carefully hidden had been discovered by her sister.She remembered Carra, who had been so committed in front of her before, but why did she look different now?She took a few steps forward in anger, raising her hand, and she tried to fan her face. This was her usual action to intimidate the former Carra. Every time Carra saw her raised her hand, she either lowered her head to beg for mercy or shed tears to appear pitiful.But now Carra was no longer what she used to be.Aubrey's slap in the face at every turn was really undesirable! Carra thought to herself. She grabbed the hand raised by Aubrey. Her eyes turned cold, and she said slowly. "Sister, with your current physical condition, I think it's better for you to stay quietly in the castle. You don't want to go aroundvstressing yourself now, do you?"Upon hearing this, Aubrey's face changed slightly. Did her sister know that she was pregnant?"What's the matter?" At this moment, a male voice sounded from the corridor. Soon, a man in a purple brocade robe, with a long body and a handsome face, walked into the room.It was Prince Algernon, the son of King Eadwulf. He stared at Carra gloomily, grabbed Aubrey's hand, and asked aloud. "Are you alright?"When Aubrey saw who the person was, she pitifully yelled. "Prince Algernon, you are here." Before now, she had wanted to break free of Carra's control but couldn't do so. Hence, the second lady said to Prince Algernonce anxiously. "Sir, save me!"Prince Algernonce frowned and said to Carra. "Carra, what are you doing? As the eldest sister, how can you let your action with your sister go so far!"Carra smiled and whispered in Aubrey's ear. "If the second sister wants to marry into the Royal Palace smoothly, I suggest you settle down before you marry."After speaking, she let go of Aubrey's wrist. She smiled at Prince Algernon and said. "Nothing to worry about. Aubrey was not sensible. And I, as the older sister, was giving her some advice so that she could understand things better. Sister, don't you think so?"Aubrey glared at Carra unwillingly, walked towards Prince Algernon's side, pulled his sleeves, and said, "My dear, let's go."If she was unmarried and pregnant, her reputation would be ruined. With a Machan woman in particular, reputation meant everything. Well, let alone marrying into the Royal Palace. Maybe she really would spend her lifetime in the temple. Therefore, she had to accept this loss today. But sooner or later, she would get it back. Aubrey thought viciously in her heart.Prince Algernon was stunned by Carra's smile, and when he recovered, Aubrey was already dragging him away.On the opposite side of Carra, in Macunum, two men were seated by the windows of a r in the upstairs, watching the scenery. They had the same abundant Lycan elegance and were handsome and truly extraordinary.The man in the white shirt raised his eyebrows, took a large gulp of the ale mug in his hand, and said jokingly, "Wulfgar, is this who they call your stupid, timid and incompetent future princess? These rumors are becoming less and less credible in my eyes."The man, on the other side called "Wulfgar," was not sitting on a chair but a wheelchair. As a Lycan, this was really a word. Any injury should have healed immediately. He was dressed in a black garment, which made his face pale and cold. Although sitting in a wheelchair, the aura on his body was a bit more aggressive than the white-clothed man opposite.He opened his lips lightly and said coldly. "It seems that the strength of Oxa Villa is not as good as before. If Eddard is alive in the sky, he will surely die seeing this."The man in white was Elmer, the current owner of the mysterious Oxa Villa in Macunum.As he listened to the man opposite, his face changed slightly, and he shouted to him. "Prince Wulfgar, how pathetic you sound. Your mouth is getting more and more poisonous. Wait and see, I will go and tell your future princess your secrets. All of them. Then, you'll see the strength of my Oxa Villa.""Don't. I'll take care of things by myself." Prince Wulfgar handed Elmer a warning look of "Don't worry about meddling in my affairs" and whispered, "Chantz."Immediately after, a gust of wind blew, and in the blink of an eye, a boy of average built was standing expressionless behind prince Wulfgar, silent like a shadow."Let's go." As soon as Prince Wulfgar's voice fell, Chantz pushed his wheelchair away and didn't even look at Elmer, who was drinking ale together with them just now.Elmer was no stranger to the way he got along with his master and servant. He touched his chin, looked at the back of Prince Wulfgar's departure, and looked at Carra, who was walking slowly downstairs, and smiled deeply.Laughter, the future Machan princess seemed not to be a simple lady after all. It appeared that there could be good shows in the future, and the days ahead would definitely not be as dull and boring as they were now.Carra left Barma alley and went to the second warehouse left to her by her mother.The second warehouse was located at the end of Olive Street. Since the warehouse was selling antiques and painting, the environment needed to be relatively quiet. Olive Street's warehouse's shopkeeper that Carra did not change was a shopkeeper named Wagner.Carra investigated. Although this shopkeeper Wagner didn't make any achievements, just like his name, he didn't make any mistakes, and he was highly professional.Carra couldn't find another suitable candidate for a while. After doing some kind of findings on the shopkeeper Wagner, she decided to keep him, but he was assigned an accountant so that they could supervise each other. Account verification, outbound and inbound were all registered in detail, and reported to her on a regular basis.By the time Carra finished checking the second warehouse's accounts, it was already dusk. Remembering that she agreed with Madame Mildred today to accompany her
Carra woke up to the feeling of a burning suffocation. It was as if she was drowning in a sea of smoke while her whole body was being tempered in a fiery furnace. The fiery feeling was completely overwhelming. After some minutes of great difficulties, she opened her eyes and realized the whole area was in flames and the air was filled with smoke.Was she in a sea of fire? What happened? She asked herself apprehensively, but her brain wasn't functioning properly. She needed answers but knew if she stayed where she was, she would definitely be burned or smoked to death. She struggled to get up from the ground, only to find that her clothes were not right, and her shirt and jeans had become complicated long garments. She was stunned, and immediately looked around. Although the fire in this place was big, and she couldn't seem to recall much, it appeared as if something was wrong. However, since the fire was getting bigger and bigger, she decided now wasn't the right time to worry abou
"Miss, our lady just woke up. She's still very weak, so she's resting now. It's not convenient for her to see you at this time, please come back tomorrow." Nella voiced out, trying to dissuade the visitor from entering the chamber. "How dare you?" A sharp voice yelled. The question was followed by the sound of a thunderous slap. "A maid, trying to stop me? You really forgot your position." Carra couldn't help frowning. The wave of disgust that rose in her heart was for a good reason. Audrey Copperstone, the second daughter of lord Livingstone Copperstone, and the first daughter of her mother who was from the Cawthorne family, relied on the love of their father, lord Livingstone and the Cawthorne family. With all these, she was arrogant, self-centred, and typically stubborn. Carra sighed deeply. The former owner of her body did not realize how much she suffered during her lifetime, only because of her weak perception and deceptively uncertain temperament. She could only dare to be a
These people were Carra's father and step mother, lord Livingstone and Angela Cawthorne, who happened to be the new wife of lord Livingstone.It seemed that Audrey went home to complain to them about what transpired earlier.Carra was still in the bed, lazily, when they arrived. Seeing the two entering her chamber, she didn't even bother to get up from bed. Since she was seriously injured, no one would blame her if she didn't get up to give them courtesy. "Father, mother." She called bluntly. She was unaccustomed to addressing them with such titles, so her manner was unnatural. But the two did not care. They were used to it by now.In Angela's eyes, this eldest daughter was a completely twisted soul. Every time she saw them, she always stood aside and wouldn't speak. She didn't even dare to look at them, straight in the eyes. She was not at all like the sweet-talking second daughter who was caring and sensible.When her father saw Carra, he naturally thought of her biological mother
The scar stretched from the area beneath the left ear of the left face to the chin, and it was mottled horizontally. Although the area was small, its color was black and red because of the ointment that was just applied. It was indeed a bit unsightly.Carra did intend to scare Angela. Seeing that she was really scared, she sneered in her heart but put on a sympathetic look. She fastened her veil again, and said. "Please forgive me, mother. I didn't mean to scare you."Angela was quite shocked when she saw Carra's face. She didn't know that Carra was that badly hurt. A young lady who wasn't married yet, and her appearance was already ruined. If the Royal Palace knew about this, could the arranged marriage still go ahead? Seeing Carra lowering her head with a sad look in her eyes, a sense of pity rose in her heart. She might not like this young girl, but the scar had terrifyingly damaged her face, which was something she didn't prepare to see.Noticing the horror expressed on Angela's f
On the second day, Carra took Nella and Vira to the small burnt courtyard. She had lived in this small circumscribed for more than ten years. She was three years old when her mother died, and was brought up by Angela. Angela never liked Sophia. So naturally, it was impossible for her to like the daughter Sophia left behind. When the great lady, Madame Mildred, was around, the Cawthorne family was still able to restraint themselves. So Carra's life was pretty decent then. But since Madame Mildred was disheartened due to the loss of the old man, and secluded herself in the monastery, Angela had become the mistress of the Copperstone castle. Immediately afterwards, she threw Carra to the remotest part of the castle. Over the years, the deserted courtyard was left on its own. And now, the small courtyard burned by the fire had become more and more dilapidated, with traces of smoke everywhere. Since the small courtyard was originally an unmaintained place, Vira deliberately refused to
Madame Mildred was heartbroken after the old man died of illness and her own son also died unexpectedly. She had been living in the monastery for many years now. In the past, Carra had never dared to take the initiative to meet the old lady, for fear of being tortured by the mother and daughter's combination of the Cawthorne family. She just wanted to stay quietly in the small courtyard until she got married. But now, Carra was different. And at this moment, she was determined to withdraw from her arranged marriage to the royal family. A machan woman who had been disfigured, even if she was the eldest daughter of lord Livingstone Copperstone, in the famous Arthurian empire, she wouldn't be able to marry into any good family. And if she did, she would be treated worse than trash. Therefore, from the perspective of her current situation, relying on the big support of Madame Mildred was also the best choice for her. Early the next morning, Carra went to the monastery to see Madame M
Lord Livingstone was also quite surprised when he heard Carra's words. He always thought that the fire was an accident. So why did someone deliberately committed arson in Carra's Courtyard? He looked at Carra suspiciously and said, "Carra, this is a serious accusations. Do you have anything in support of this?" "Yes, father." Carra nodded and said. "Yesterday, I went to the yard to pack what remains of my things, and found something by accident. Something which proves that the fire was not an accident, but a deliberate one." "Sister Celia, are you representing our old lady?" Lord Livingstone looked at Sister Celia and asked. After receiving confirmation nod, Lord Livingstone continued. "Since the old lady sent Sister Celia over, I have to believe you. With our great lady's support, you can show your evidence. If it is true, then I will act justifiably on your behalf." "Thank you, father." After Carra thanked him, she turned and signaled Nella who called out to the group of people st
